I'm planning to change the world.
Not all at once,
But boy by boy and girl by girl.
Touch each heart and move each soul.
One by one.
I'll change the world.

Remember,
you are still alive
and live for every
moment we can't
change. Remember,
love, remember that
we are the change.

Changing the world may be almost impossible
Changing the nation may take a lifetime
Changing your community may take a long time
Changing yourself won't happen over night
But changing anything for the better is worthwhile

Why bother changing the world,
When you can't even change yourself?

Seasons change by month
I change day by day each year
Seasons stay the same

Change is necessary.
Right?

Change is a good thing?
Right?

Change is
Scary and confusing.

Change scares the hell out of me.
Change leaves me in a state of frustration.

Change can heal the soul and tear it apart.
Leaving little pieces scattered about.

But I must think of little caterpillars that turn into beautiful butterflies.

Change is necessary.
